| Description | A group of men and women sit around, listening to a man tell a horror story. The men have all got short unpowdered hair, and the women all wear mobcaps and shawls. A man explains to a woman that the story refers to the Devil. On the far right a man and a woman have fallen on the floor, and only their legs are visible. The woman cries "Oh Mr Thompson, Mr Thompson you have killed the child, Billy my dear where are you. " The child grabs her leg and replies "Here I am Mammy".
